nina's giving us a hard time up here either too windy or no wind gesty!

I can't take all this wind. It has been a hard lesson, another in a long list of similar lessons that shake my fondness for truth.

I was out a Reddy yesterday. The best bump and jump conditions I have seen for years and I sailed like my old mum. Ended up with forearm pump. Thank God. It gave me a reason to stop punishing myself.

Gee Justin, where did you get the cool avatar photo from

That's not good news, was it a Sailing accident ?

The purple arm is from that crash up at burrum.
The stitches in my back was from a mole removed yesterday.
so im out for a few days.

Hey have you guys been getting any good runs at burrum the last few days.

definately a great job mr love. all of the designs look outstanding on the water compared to ther sails on the market.

the sail in my avatar is a virgin 2008 4.7m Kaos. it was a joy to use. i was very happy to be on the 4.7 as that was the windiest day i have sailed in about 12 years. the Kaos was very balanced.

windy,

i still have been using the 5.3 every other day in this cyclonic system. and it has been howling. i figured i should use a 4.7 at least once and the Kaos being a hardcore sail would stop me looking to soft. plus it was rigged and ready to go with a 70lt wave board. who could resist
